Thanks for the info Jim and Tuga - I will check out the connectors carefully on the wiring to the pump. Hadn't noticed anything in particular when looking it over, but will check more closely.
Elliott, will do - thanks.
CB - if no joy by Monday with this deal, I willl call out there.
Taking the bus up to Waco this afternoon to Baylor Stadium to watch our Lake Travis team play in the Texas 4A Div I State Championship. Shooting for 3 State Titles in a row and 46 straight wins. Too bad Loc isn't around to take a paparazzi photo because it is a nice sunny day and the bus will be presentable.

For the record, the fuel pump is a Carter P4070 model. Carquest and Napa have models of the same.
Found one yesterday morning and swapped out same. No change unfortunately so it is not the filters or fuel pump. All electrical leads and wires looked good.
Did not do much further analysis as I had to get the bus washed and on the road for a football game. kohler has a distributor in San Antonio so I am going to phone their service dept on Monday to see what they have to offer. About out of ideas.

Final follow up. Kohler Distributer Lofton Eqmt in San Antonio recommended So-Tex Generator and Engine of Converse for R&M. Drove the bus down to So-Tex this morning.
Turns out it was a governor or speed control problem. Mechanic said someone had turned up the wick way more than necessary which was causing some hunting while the unit tried to maintain a constant RPM. 1.5 hours of labor and all is well.
My best guess is during the warmer weather this did not cause a noticeable problem but in colder weather it has. Don't know why it would be different otherwise, as I haven't fooled with the governor setting even though I was tempted.:cool:

Glad to hear you got it. Good way to start the new year.

After we left OKC and headed for Missoula when our generator started to act up north of Denver. It would start and run for a few moments and then quit. Replaced filters but no luck. The electric jerk pump had flow but no pressure. Went to NAPA and got A HD Carter on line pump. It didnt happen that fast as it was 5-7 f in Cheyenne. Like Jerry suggested check out the electric jerk pump. We have a power Tec so I dont know if you have one.
